Decided to make it steampunk, then realized since it's electricity-themed it's technically Teslapunk instead. 😄

Gun I designed from a randomized prompt!!! Getting really into designing stuff lately especially video game inspired stuff to build my portfolio n yea... anyways I imagine this gun shoots electricity kind of like the Electro Bolt plasmid in BioShock, in that it sprays out from the flanged nozzle on the end, maybe the nozzle can be switched out to a straight one for a more powerful beam too. The tank on the top is full of electrified liquid which is used to power the weapon. the switch on the front toggles between spraying and sucking mode, to charge the weapon it sucks in the electricity to charge the liquid from a power source which could be like a charging station with a battery or something. The display on the side shows how much electricity is left in the liquid and is lit up by the liquid itself, meaning no other power sources are required except the electrified liquid. The liquid powers all the mechanisms within the gun. The gear at the back is not real and is just for decoration (its made of wood and connected to the stock), maybe the lore in this world is that it was originally a steampunk world but then advancements in technology caused them to start using electricity as a power source instead, and some decorated weapons have gears/steampunk accessories as a reminder of their origins idk just an idea.

One of my oldest fully digital pieces, and one i want to do more of. It was a big step forward for me. A fixed wing bomber of the Cacean republic, in the world of Lakeweaver. An Industrialized nation, roughly reaching the 1920s-1930s in development, with their roots in central american styled empires and revolution nearly a century before. A Lack of readily available and reachable crude oil led to their early electrical adaptation taking off. Most tech in their states tend to lean heavily electric, utilizing battery power for longer range travel. Their air force can be considered average for the time. their early 4 engined bomber more a focus of pushing their limits of heavy aircraft then offensive use at the point of its development. Yet for all their technological developments. Their lands and the jungles that sprawl around the bases of their mountain ridges and deep lake valleys hold many secrets about their past.

“Lesbians were seen as either sick or sinful, and as Lillian Faderman noted, ‘no one would want to be considered one.’ In 1928, Djuna Barnes wrote that same-sex love remained ‘as daring as a Crusade,’ and few women who had only affectional relationships with other women were part of any fledgling lesbian subculture. A lesbian often grew to adulthood afraid of her sexual feelings, and in many instances, unaware of how to cope with them. While many women admitted to intense emotional relations with other women, they usually saw such relationships as isolated experiences and expected to marry and live as heterosexuals.”
